Trivia

Currently, it is the only game in the series where the player does not visit locations from previous games' campaigns.

The first game to have settings in Wyoming, Montana, Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado.

Newspapers can be found in various places, on closer inspection, they are the same newspapers found in Dead Island and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.

The first game in the series where the player does not have visible legs in first person (One screenshot supports the idea that Silas does have a first person model, but the black "widescreen bars" most likely hide it).

The first game in the series in which the player does not physically visit Juarez, Mexico or the surrounding area, and is the first game in the series in which the story does not take place in Mexico.

The first game in the series to feature only one playable character.

It would appear that the developers intended to leave the factual basis of Silas' many stories up to the interpretation of the player.

Concept art revealed that African-American characters were originally going to appear in the game.
